Now that we're halfway through winter and I've got my winter tires on, I am turning my obsessive self to researching summer treads.
My musts are quiet and wet road capabilities. These are for a car, btw.

I have those on another car that I share; not bad in rain but not the best. Quiet, though!

there isn't really a one tire is best, you need to define your priorities, and order them. for me, on my Prius, they wear well, are quiet, good mileage, and good, but not great wet weather traction.

Foot and a half of snow headed your way and you're thinking summer. good way to deflect.

I favor "Goodyear Assurance". Nice comfortable ride and not too pricey.

Michelin CrossClimate2; I had to replace Conti DWS06 before 30k miles, never again.

What car do you have? There's some reason to believe its good to match model of car to particular models of tire.
I like michelin pilot sport as3 plus as summer tires on my golf. Grippy, and work well enough in a light snow fall to cover shoulder seasons. There are likely better value propositions.
